Article Evaluation: Chinese Exclusion Act Yes, it even covered the impacts of the Chinese Exclusion Act and how it affected people’s views and actions towards Chinese immigrants.
 * 1) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

2. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

It appeared neutral and unbiased.

3. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

It really represented the governing body’s point of view and discussed the broad, general impacts on Chinese immigrants as seen by the government so I feel like it was very much focused on the government narrative.

4. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

Yes, they do.

5. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

A lot of the information comes from law websites and archives that detail laws and population movements/increases/decreases. Because these are legal, public archive sources, I feel they are neutral.

6. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

The Content section requires more sourcing to support claims, but it is flagged so readers know this.

7. Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

A lot about the government representation, the lack of discussion of a racial component. Also lots of discussion on the sourcing used in the content section. Also, discussion on whether or not US government’s policies after this should be discussed.

8. How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

The page itself is not flagged, but one section is flagged with needing more sources. It is a part of WikiProject China, WikiProject Law, WikiProject History, National Archives Project, and WikiProject United States/American Old West/Asian Americans.

9. How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

It does not focus on personal perspectives but on broad populations and the impacts on general people.
